Bridge port configuration
All ports (Ethernet and wireless) on the AP are bridged. Therefore, common settings are
configured using the bridge port (which is a logical port). To verify, and possibly adjust bridge
port configuration, select Network > Ports > Bridge port .
Assign IP address via
The bridge port supports the following addressing options:
 PPPoE client
 DHCP client (default setting)
 Static
By default, the bridge port operates as a DHCP client. Select the addressing option that is
required by your network administrator and then select Configure . See the online help for
descriptions of all configuration options.
Bridge spanning tree protocol
When this option is enabled, the AP uses the Spanning-Tree Protocol to prevent undesirable
loops from occurring in the network that may result in decreased throughput.
Spanning tree can be enabled for untagged ports and/or VLAN ports.
When VLAN support is enabled, it applies to VLANs defined on the Network > Ports page
only. It does not apply to the management VLAN defined in the VLAN box on the Network >
Ports > [Port 1 | Port 2] page.
Priority
Sets the priority of the AP within the spanning tree network. Generally, the bridge with
lowest priority is designated as the root bridge of the spanning tree.
